Which chip does your 6s(6s+) have?

These are the only chips I truly care about!

This is a lot of misinformation and GROSS oversimplification of an extremely complex question that 14mm<16mm ergo better.

It's the future of chip building. If done right of course. Nobody would want a smaller chip that wasn't as good as a bigger chip.

There were similar mutterings of discontent last year with the flash storage. Some people had MLC and others TLC. One was faster to read and the other faster to write, but one had a longer life than the other and TLC was linked to hardware faults such as frequent crashing. This component disparity has existed long before the iPhone 6S. Some Macbooks had nicer displays than others, sourced from different vendors.

Sure Apple products have crazy demand and the logistics behind sourcing millions of components must be mindblowing. However, as a consumer you want the best components inside your device, not second-choice parts here and there because there was a supply problem. If you pay the same as the next guy then you expect an identical device. It's frustrating to know that you may be experiencing shorter battery life or another performance issue due to a scarcity of components.

Smaller chips using micro manufacturing processes are more efficient. They use less power and give off less heat. It's how chips improve. Raw processing speed has reduced but efficiency is on the increase.

So basically you are a expert on chips and samsung is the best , because you happen to find out you have a samsung chip.

I have a tsmc chip and couldnt give a ****

Again, if the chips are all tested within the same tolerances, the difference between the processes is going to be negligible. And what matters is how your phone runs for you, not the name of the manufacturer of the chip.

What happens if you need to get your phone replaced due to say a cracked screen? Are you going to demand that they let you run this app on the replacement phone until you get one that has a Samsung chip? It's just silly.

Not at all. I'm not complaining about the chips. Merely stating that one is, on paper, technologically more advanced.

Not at all. I couldn't care less which chip I have so long as my phone works within spec.

actually its a non existent issue blown out of proportion on the internet. much like all of the issues you see here


belying the power of the revised Snapdragon 810 with 3GB of RAM thrumming away inside. Can we real talk for a moment? It feels great. It might seem a little tricky putting a chipset with that much power into a slim metal frame, but nothing we could do with it here at the venue could make the thing overheat. Yet another nail in the coffin of those persistent rumors about the 810's heat-management problems
 
My guess is that both TSMC and Samsung chips are faster than the buses they are connected to.. Therefore, performance should be identical (bus limited).. Power requirements may be slightly different though and trends would tell you smaller fab processes net better battery life.. In this situation, this could mean a difference of 10minutes on our phones..

People: Stop stressing out, seriously.

So after disabling Siri, the minor freezing has stopped. I never use Siri, so that's okay.

Contacted Apple, it's going to be about 3 weeks before they could get me an appointment? I think I'll hold out with the device, let's see the battery life today.
 
Anyone know what chip was used in the old iPhone6? did Apple also use duel chip suppliers?
Sorry think i sent this post it twice.

iPhone 6S+, TSMC chip. no heating issues, no lag, no battery issues. can't even pretend I'm disappointed I don't have a Samsung chip. best iPhone I've ever owned.

Yeah, the only time I remember it getting hot was when I was restoring my backup.

...because I was restoring my backup.
 
Have two 6S Plus (64GB) on hand with me, one gold, the other silver.

Using the app on both devices, I found out that the gold had the TSMC and the silver had the Samsung.

GeekBench results:

Samsung chip in the silver:

Running the test many times, the Samsung chip was consistently faster, but by very little. Of course, during normal usage, the difference is not noticeable at all.
